Cook Book by Ncllgh Oulld.
One of the most attractive cook
liooks that has over been prepared In
Nebraska is that which has just been
published by the Woman's Gluldof St.
Peter's Episcopal c.iurch nt Nellgh.
The book contains eighty-four pages
) f successful recipes which have been
tried by the good cooks of ix'ollgh
mil found eminently satisfactory. Tin
work in worth much more than the
fifty cents asked for It by the ladles
of the guild.
The now cook hook is dedicated "lo
these plucky women who master theli
work Instead of allowing their work
to master them. "
Result of Long Work.
In the preface the authors say :
"The ladles of St. Peter's Guild have
carefully prepared the recipes con
tained In this book , many of wblcl
have been contributed by other ladles
and in presenting this hook to the
public we are confident that all that
it contains has been tried ami testci
and that these recipes are among the
best that could bo found. Our grand
mothers used to say 'Good cooks ncei
no recipes , ' and although the nppe
tiles of our childhood were willing Ii
acknowledge this statement , yearn o
experience have taught us that cook
ing is an art that requires our al
tenlion and study. "
And the ladies of Neligh have sum
niPd up the fruitful results of those
years of attention and study in giving
to society ibis very excellent cook
book.
This little verse Is found as a fore
word :
Athenaous alllrms ,
Worthy iributoi to bring ,
That a man among men ,
Who can cook Is a king.
Now if that is the case ,
And 'tis plain to lie seen ,
A cnok among women
Must walk as a queen.
The book is entitled , "Guild Cook
Book. " It Is substantially bound In
white oilcloth , which will add to the
neatness of the kitchen as well as
withstand ( he effects of wo Ier In
which Hie book might al times acci
dentally find itself.

New Astronomical Instrument May

Baltimore , Md. , Nov. M. R. W.
Wood , who occupied the chair of ex-
porlmenlal physics in Johns Hopkins

telescope by which it is hoped that
life , If it exists , may bo seen on the
planet of Mars. Professor Wood re
ported the invention yesterday to the
National Academy of Science.
ProfoBFor Wood refused to make any
definite statements as to the future
possibilities of Hie instrument , it is
possible , ho said , that a mirror fifteen
or twenty feet in diameter , mounted in
the tropics at the bottom of a deep
pit , might enable people to observe
details on Mars and other planets
which cannot bo scon with smaller In
struments.

Is Sugar Beet to Survive ?
Are the people of Colorado to see
the death of the beet nugar Industry ,
Just as Norfolk did , because of n luck
of boots with which lo run the fnc-
lories ?
The factory nt Lamnr , which wns
removed to that place from Norfolk ,
Is standing idle this yenr because the
farmers of tbnt vicinity did not raise
beets enough to run the plant. It
was not due to drouth , but due to the
fact that outside the immediate vicin
ity of Lniinir the farmers raised other
things than heels. This is the ver
sion of the situation brought to Nor
folk by Clarence Gorocke , who Is just
homo from Colorado.
Las Animns Plant in Danger.
Mr. Geroeke also mys that the fac
tory at Las AnimaK , Colo. , the largest
sugar factory in the woild at Ihls
dine , is in danger of not running next
year because the farmers of that sec
tion won't raise the beets.
Tlio United Status marine hospital
located here , bo says , proves too at
tractive to Hie farmers to allow llio
beet to nourish. This hospital furn
ishes a market for all sorts of farm
produce at liigii prices and llio boot ,
.vhicli requires hard work , suffers as
l consequence.
The factory which ran in Norfolk
. 'or thirteen years , and which later
was dismantled and shipped to Lamar -
mar , Colo. , was linally dosed , the fac
tory people said , because the farmers
bore did not ralso enough boots with
which to supply it.
And it was argued that the farmers
hero could too easily ralso other crops
to justify them in the extraordinarily
hard work of heel raising.
The factory people dismantled the
plant here , shipped it to Lamar , Colo. ,
and now , four years Inter , find the
factory standing idle owing to the
same condition there which , in Nor
folk , caused them fo move.
The question naturally arises , In
view of such a situation , whether or
not the boot sugar factory Industry
is to survive or perish In Amorlcn.
Beet Crowded Out.
Upon the face of things It would
appear that as fast as a soil becomes
suited to the raising of other kinds
of crops , requiring not so much hard
work and close attention , the beet
loses out. And experience seems to
Indicate that it reijnlros only a fe v
years , with the progress irrigation Is
making , to so cultivate- any soil that
it will produce many crops bosldo the
beet.
beet.With
With this shutting down of factor
ies owing to a lack of the , supply of
beets , and with the inclination to cut
down Hie tariff on sugar , which will
In turn cut down the prices oven now
paid for beets as an inducement to
get them grown , the obseiver can not
W
but wonder whether the beet sugar
Industry is to live or die in the United
States.
The removal of the beet sugar fac
tory from Norfolk left a magnificent
factory building , with much fertile
land , In the hands of the original
local donors to the Industry. For
four years that factory now has stood
empty and idle , and nt this time no
sleps , HO far as known , ivre being
